A Summer Grain Bowl Recipe from “Simple Fare”

May 25, 2017

We published a grain bowl recipe from New York chef Lily Kunin earlier this month but I had to share another composition I tried and loved recently. This one comes from the new cookbook “Simple Fare: Spring/Summer” by Karen Mordechai. 

Karen is a photographer and food lover whose dinner series, Sunday Suppers, is something of a phenomenon in New York. She published a cookbook around these meals back in 2014 and also launched a line of cooking essentials, called ILA, which you can find at Midland in LA among other stores. Her new book, “Simple Fare”, is geared more towards market-driven, everyday eating but the recipes have the same sophistication and nuance that her family-style dishes are known for. This farro bowl, for instance, has cured eggs, roasted purple carrots, and a refreshing watercress dressing, among other slightly unexpected ingredients. I love the way it looks on the plate and the delicious flavors at play here. If you’re a fan of grain bowls and need a few new ideas to shake up your routine, this recipe—and book—is just the thing.
